The truck that was driven by Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day being towed away by breakdown lorry. It had been sprayed with dozens of bullets by officers trying to stop the vehicle

An image of attacker Bouhlel emerged from ID papers left inside the lorry

A cousin of Bouhlel’s wife Hajer Khalfallah, said: “Bouhlel was not religious.

“He did not go to the mosque, he did not pray, he did not observe Ramadan. He drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs. This is all forbidden under Islam.

“He was not a Muslim, he was a s***.

“He beat his wife, my cousin, he was a nasty piece of work.”

Meanwhile, it emerged divorced Bouhlel regularly visited gyms with his 73-year-old male lover.
Remy, a gym worker, said: “One day he would be weight training and the next he would do salsa dancing. The pair spoke very discreetly, but when it wasn’t busy they were close.”
Yesterday, the lawyer for Bouhlel’s ex-wife Hajer Khalfallah said her client had gone into hiding with her kids after being targeted by a “baying mob who consider her guilty”. Cops have quizzed and freed her.

Bouhlel was known to local police but not placed on any terrorist watch list set up after the Paris attacks last November.

MOURNERS removed flowers and other ­tributes from the Nice massacre scene yesterday as Promenade des Anglais opened for the first time since the attack.
However, riot cops were called in as crowds tried to stop the “memorial of hate” — a pile of rubbish — to killer Bouhlel being cleared.
